5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, Essential Luther., October 13, 2002

This review is from: Busy Body (Audio CD)

Picking just one favorite Luther Vandross album is a daunting task for me, but 1983's "Busy Body" is among his very best. A great mix of suave upbeat r&b and smooth ballads, Luther's third CD is a classic release that puts much of modern music to shame. The upbeat track "For the Sweetness of Your Love" has Luther at the top of his game with his butter-smooth voice, the song's memorable bassline, and its undeniable groove. "Make Me a Believer" is a killer love ballad that's become a beloved favorite among fans, while he shares the spotlight with Dionne Warwick in "How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye." But the real deal is the dynamite closer, the 9-minute soaring love song "Superstar/Until You Come Back to Me." In an age where overprodced, trendy, and image-conscious singers rule airwaves and collect platinum discs, it's refreshing to know that there are mature, serious vocalists who have a genuine passion for music. "Busy Body" is a timeless r&b classic that, without hesitation, belongs in your CD collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Luther at His Best, March 26, 2002

This is one of Luther's best albums. It is highlighted by superstar, but Superstar is not the good song on this album. A must for any Luther fan

Make no mistake-Luther Vandross is an excellent modern R&B
cronner but he can SURE pack a punch on the right mid to uptempo
dance funk tunes and "Busy Body" has plenty of 'em.From the
opening "I Wanted Your Love","I'll Let You Slide",the slamming
"For The Sweetness Of Your Love" and the burning,sexual tital song-all specacularly produced by Marcus Miller.Oh and then
there is "Superstar" and all that stuff.But seek out "Busy Body" AND Marcus Miller's similar sound self-titaled 1984 LP (if you can) and you'll be so satisfied!
